Fresh flowers are blooming everywhere and it makes me want to bring those beautiful, bright buds home! It’s amazing how a few freshly cut florals can impact a room, so why not elevate the look with some textured glass vases? These honeycomb vases come in a set of three and I love that they’re shaped differently for an eclectic, yet unified arrangement.

I was at a press launch yesterday at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Toronto, and had my buddy Corinna vanGerwen take a shot of this floral arrangement in one of the hotel’s penthouse suites. (One camera + my arsenal of manpurses = one frequently misplaced camera)

Now, nobody doesn’t love peonies, and these super-soft pink varieties are especially pretty. But I’m not sure how I feel about the juxtaposition of the understated elegance of the pink peonies with the harsh, angular greenery that cuts jagged slashes through the arrangement. It’s certainly eye-catching, and adds an edge to an otherwise soft and subdued flower… 

What do you think? Pretty pairing, or mismatched?
